In 1981, The Legend of the Lone Ranger was released to empty movie theaters. It’s bombing was mostly due to it being a shit movie but a lawsuit filed by the producers played a hand as well. The producers didn’t … Continue reading Scott OT #203: The Night Thread Gets Sued for Entertaining Sick Children (11/4)

In January 2010, the world was shocked to learn that a man died after watching the hit movie Avatar (it’s sometimes reported that he died while watching the movie but that’s inaccurate).

Today is the 72nd birthday of Sam Neill, star of Possession, Event Horizon, In the Mouth of Madness, and, most important to me, Jurassic Park. However, he’s become famous in recent years for his Twitter account, which is one of … Continue reading Scott OT #198: The Night Thread of Sam Neill’s Twitter Account (9/14)
In 2009, the bad movie gods delivered onto us an amazing disaster by the name of Partners. It has a needlessly complex plot (the bad guy intentionally gets shot because he bought his own ambulance, I guess?), has abysmal sound … Continue reading Scott OT #197: The Night Thread of Partners (9/9)

I finally got around to buying The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild today and I am fucking enraptured by it. I’ve only gotten a little bit into the game but I’m loving it (breakable weapons and limited inventory … Continue reading Scott OT #195: Breath of the Night Thread (8/19)

(cw: mentions of Suicide) Two years ago, the world was dismayed to learn that Chris Cornell, lead singer of Soundgarden and Audioslave, had tragically taken his life. His death sent shockwaves across the music industry, as one of the most … Continue reading Scott OT #193: The Night Thread Remembers Chris Cornell (7/20)
Today marks the one year anniversary of me starting my job. I must admit that, at the start of last year, I genuinely couldn’t have seen this coming. I had given up on finding a job, much like I had … Continue reading Scott OT #192: The Night Thread Celebrates One Year of Working (7/16)
Almost every film buff will tell you that Marion Davies was a hack actress who only got to where she was because she was William Randolph Hearst’s mistress. The evidence for this is the unflattering caricature of her played by … Continue reading Scott OT #191: The Night Thread Restores Marion Davies’ Reputation (and Debunks Some Citizen Kane Myths) (7/11)

Work wasn’t too bad today but I had to do a great many things after work and I have to get up super early tomorrow, so I can’t really create a more detailed thread. So, inspired by me maining it … Continue reading Scott OT #189: The Night Thread Is Busy (6/28)

Hard Ticket to Hawaii is a blissfully dumb Andy Sidaris movie and one of those bad movies that’s so amazing, it becomes actually good. Much like Miami Connection, it’s a movie that’s better if you go in knowing nothing about … Continue reading Scott OT #186: The Night Thread Has a Hard Ticket to Hawaii (6/10)
Miami Connection is a hilariously violent action movie from 1987. It’s exceptionally poorly made, which just adds the charm to it. The ending battle is one of the best bad movie finales ever, with the ending card a delightful cherry … Continue reading Scott OT #185: The Miami Connection Night Thread (6/7)
(Note: this review was previously posted on Letterboxd. Here is a version for the Avocado, with pictures included.) Earlier this week, I watched Irving Lerner’s masterful noir Murder by Contract.
